[ haru really didn’t need to tell him. reki could go his whole like not knowing, but... maybe haru was a little selfish. maybe he wanted to know reki would accept him curse and all... maybe he just wanted to make reki understand the little things he does, like when playing with his sisters he was affectionate, but never once let them hold onto him or made us silly excuses like “i’m shy” whenever his mom wanted to give them hugs.

he just... wanted reki to know, even if reki hated him afterwards.]

So god made a promise with the animals. We’ll have a banquet over and over. We’ll meet in the next life and have one again and again.

[ haru changes his voice a little, to sound like an eager child] Wow..! Being reborn just to meet each other again and again..! That’s so romantic..!

But what if that promise became twisted... something beautiful turned to shackles, you can’t break free from... because of that promise you can’t defy fate or defy god...
